Before-Microchecked Paint:

Microchecking (also called lacquer checking) starts as microscopic cracks caused by failing material under the paint. Engine heat, ultraviolet rays or contaminants can all cause microchecking. The cracks can allow water to get under the paint leading to rust.

Da Fang's Flake Concept--Beautiful, Baffling, Brilliant

Da Fang is a true automotive designer. His vehicle concept is audacious and genius. The surface, structure and even the "wheels" (if you can still call them that) are active and react to the road, driving conditions and speed to optimize performance, comfort and safety. Panels move to create downforce, help in braking or to allow suspension travel while maintaining a very streamlined profile on smooth roads at high speeds. I hope I will drive something with this type technology in my lifetime. Cudos to Fang on his vision.
